Some say the course of your solar return can be changed according to your location in the world during the solar return, since it changes the charts ascendant and houses. I had read a thread here which spoke about how people travel to different places in the world on their birthdays to try to improve their solar return years.

There seems to be conflicting opinions regarding this though, cause some say it won't change your chart for the entire year unless you stay in that location that whole year, and others say it will change it as long as you are in that location on your solar return birth DAY only.

Would anyone please be able to confirm for me, which one is correct?

the events of a solar return aren't going to happen right away ......especially not after just a day ....nor even a week.....maybe not even a month. I feel that meeting my father was a big event in my mom's solar return period of June 1969 to 1970. She didn't meet my father until February 1970,and that was 8 months into the solar return period.

also what about people that have their birthdays out at sea.......say there on a WestPac? it gets more complicated. I was in the navy. I had my 22nd birthday out at sea when I was on West Pac deployment. We were on our way to Fremantle/Perth, Western Australia. I think that we were off the coast of Somalia when I turned 22.

A proper solar return involves the following features:

1. Determine the subject's intentions for the year.
2. Determine a location where the horoscope for that moment will support the realization of those intentions.
3. Encourage the subject to plan an experience going into the time of the solar return that will symbolically reflect the positive unfoldment of those intentions.
4. At the moment of the solar return, encourage the subject to find a quiet place to meditate, to visualize his/her goals and wishes for the year. It is important to be reverent for this moment.
5. Plan activities during the 24 hours that follow the solar return that are pleasant, enjoyable, and avoid all stress if possible.
6. Keep a diary of events and experiences that unfold
6 hours before through 30 hours after this solar return moment. Convert thos times to calendar dates for the next year, to get an idea of what themes will evolve - and they will unfold - during this year.

from page 149:
In many respects, a properly planned solar return experience is akin to being the ultimate Feng Shui of astrology. As with Feng Shui, the practitioner of the subject, and then perform the art of arrangement concerning the setting and location. In the case of solar returns, the intention has to do with the client's goals for the year, if not for the entirely of one's life. In other words, goals for the year are most attainable when they are consistent the overall view of one's entire life. The arrangement serves the purpose of enhancing the attainment of those goals, the realization of one's visions, and a behavior consistent with one's values and highest attitudes. This is reflected in the arrangement of one's planets in a horoscope (solar return horoscope) that the astrologer chooses. Thus the solar return consultant calculates a location for the time of one's solar return that will reflect - show an arrangement off - planets in houses and planets in aspects to angles that are in alignment with that client's intentions goals,visions,values,and desired attitudes for this of his/her life (i.e. the year pertaining to the solar return). The arrangement is further augmented by the actual efforts the native puts forth into that sacred event - what he/she does during that solar return period.
